Yankees News from Louisiana.

--General Banks has ordered, as the banks of the State of Louisiana have so far failed to comply with the provisions of law as to justify the forfeiture of their charters, that they are required, as a condition of any further transaction of banking business, to receive United States treasury notes at per in exchange for their own issues. Any institution aggrieved by the order may demand an investigation of its affairs, and show its credit superior to that of the United States.

The Era says the recent gunboat expedition to Chicot Pass, at the head of Grand Lake, Louisiana, completed its work — destroying property, consisting of the saw mills and houses of Captain Fuller, the notorious "Paul Jones of the South," who was captured when the Star of the West was destroyed, and who died a prisoner on Johnson's island.

The reported riot in New Orleans against the draft is without foundation.
